Description

Built for the imaging & photo process stage of PCB manufacturing, the Photoplotter (Film Production) (WET-IM-06) is designed to hold consistent quality across rigid, multilayer, and HDI boards. Because it is configured to order, the final build is agreed with our engineers before any quotation is issued.

Process Position

The Photoplotter (Film Production) operates within the imaging & photo process section of the line. Getting the hand-off to the neighbouring cells right matters more to throughput than the headline rating of any single machine, which is why we size it against your real production sequence.

What It Delivers

  • Safety interlocks, alarms and guarding designed for a production environment.
  • Designed for low maintenance, fast changeover and high equipment uptime.
  • High-resolution exposure for fine line and space definition.
  • Vacuum draw-down for intimate film-to-panel contact.
  • Registration alignment to hold layer-to-layer accuracy.

Common Use Cases

Used to transfer circuit patterns for rigid, flex and HDI boards, including fine-feature and high-density designs.

Configured to Your Line

This is not an off-the-shelf machine. We confirm your panel size, throughput target, and facility services first, then propose a configuration of the Photoplotter (Film Production) that fits. Installation guidance and commissioning support are included so the line reaches stable output quickly.

Send us your production details and we will configure the Photoplotter (Film Production) to match, then return a specification and quotation. We are happy to advise on integration with your existing line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Photoplotter (Film Production) do in the production line?
The Photoplotter (Film Production) is configured for a specific stage of the wet-processing or precision-machining sequence. It is usually integrated with the handling and rinse stages around it so that throughput and surface quality stay consistent batch to batch.
What are the utility requirements for the Photoplotter (Film Production)?
Electrical supply is specified at 3-phase 380-415 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Compressed air, water, and exhaust connections are detailed in the installation drawing supplied before delivery.
What lead time and support come with the Photoplotter (Film Production)?
Lead time is quoted per order once the configuration is fixed. Installation guidance, commissioning support, and spare-parts documentation are provided so the line reaches stable output quickly.
Can the Photoplotter (Film Production) be customised for our process?
Yes. Conveyor width, tooling, control options, and the surrounding handling can be adapted to your panel size, throughput target, and facility constraints. Share your specification and we will propose a configuration.
